Stuttgart base camp

From Rothenburg we traveled to Stuttgart where we set up base camp to explore a big city market, the medieval market of Esslingen, and the baroque market of Ludwigsburg. I tried to tempt my team into a quick trip to Tübingen for the chocolate festival but they are all in a sugar coma.

Stuttgart vendors elaborately decorate the tops of their stalls hoping to win the prize of best stall. Saturday night was so crowded that we returned on Sunday and enjoyed a picturesque snowfall.
